Coventry's title aspirations may be in jeopardy as their recent form has been a far cry from the dominant period that saw them top the Championship table. Despite still boasting a strong squad and great players, confidence appears to be an issue for Frank Lampard's side.
Lampard, who knows all about pressure from his playing career, is aware of the challenge facing his team. The problem lies not with their ability to perform on the pitch but rather in converting their chances into goals. This lack of potency has left them vulnerable to counter-attacks and has impacted their overall performance.
In contrast, teams like Wrexham and Millwall have shown that they can capitalize on opposition's attacking struggles. Wrexham dominated possession against Wrexham, creating numerous scoring opportunities before ultimately being punished by Millwall for failing to convert their chances.
Southampton's recent form has been a welcome change of pace, with the club taking four points from two games under new boss Tonda Eckert. Cyle Larin scored the winner in their 1-0 win over Watford, and his physical presence up front seems set to be a key factor for the Saints.
Swansea's Zan Vipotnik has finally found his scoring form after a barren spell, with the striker now firing under new head coach Vitor Matos. This resurgence in goal-scoring form has propelled Swansea into contention for a top-six finish and has eased their relegation fears.
The results of this weekend will provide further insight into each team's prospects. The Championship is always full of surprises, but one thing is certain โ the teams that can capitalize on opposition struggles will be those most likely to succeed in their quest for promotion.
